How do I write Adobe Acrobat PDF files in the Student Lab?
Yes, you too can write Adobe Acrobat PDF files in the Student Lab, but only on: SL19, SL23 and V15590 (the Mac with a scanner attached). This is due to software licensing requirements and anticipated usage. Actually, this is extremely easy. Here’s what you do: Add the “printer” “Acrobat PDFWriter” by clicking on Start, Settings, Printers, Add Printer, My Computer, Acrobat PDFWriter. This “printer” is actually a translator program that will automatically translate your document (Word, WordPerfect, etc.) into a PDF document. Print the document to this “printer”. You will be prompted for responses. The result is that your report.doc file has spawned a report.pdf. The process is basically the same for Macs.
